Darryl James Nadeau
SIDNEY – It is with great sadness to announce the unexpected passing of Darryl Nadeau, 63, on March 22, 2025, due to natural causes. Darryl was a loving husband, dad (too two fur babies), brother, uncle and friend.
Darryl was born on August 26, 1961. He married his wife Nikole Nadeau 10 years ago, however they shared 20 years together before getting married. Darryl and Nikole were able to travel to many countries and create loving memories over the years including some trips with family and friends.
Darryl joined the Army National Guard for 6 years, also worked as a machinist for many years before becoming an instructor at CATC in Augusta, teaching Machine Tool and Welding. He enjoyed teaching and those he worked with very much.
He joined the Waterville Elks nine years ago, became a trustee and in most recent years volunteered as the Maine State Accident Prevention & Insurance Risk Program representative. As Elk members of the Waterville #905 lodge, Darryl and Nikole became great friends with many other members and cherish those friendships.
Darryl was predeceased by his parents Gerard and Cecile Nadeau, sister Coleen, and his father-in-law Roland Raymond.
He is survived by his wife Nikole Nadeau; his siblings (and spouses), Gerard (Jane) Nadeau, Peter (Venita) Nadeau, Lee Nadeau, Joyce (Tedd) Fisher and Alan (Paula) Nadeau ; his mother-in-law Judy Raymond; sisters/brother-in-law (and spouses) Nancy (Caleb) Keune, Naomi (Lance) Raymond, Natalie (Chris) Brann, Sam (Tiffany) Raymond; along with lifelong friend (like a brother) Bob Bilodeau; and many cousins, nieces, nephews and dear loving friends.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
